Material & Supply

All my friends an family, allways ask, where I get my Materials and Ideas, first Martha Stewart, who I adore, and love to be one day, (but never be , need to work on cooking, but love the food), well first of all, my daily peak is:
Martha Stewart http://www.marthastewart.com/(that where I got the idea to do the mini pop-up cards) that nobody hearts, except my sisters, who probabaly are blocking sales so they will keep them.
then my daily emails from Scrap Girls http://www.scrapgirls.com/ that just give me gozzilions of ideas for my nieces scrapbooks, or Bday Cards, latter ad to flickr or here.
Then I will peak at of all of etsygreeting http://etsygreetings.blogspot.com/ blogs or stores or etsypaper http://etsypaper.blogspot.com/(waiting to be aproved, so I can enter my new snowman), I have trying to go into forums but it look like I am tread killer, or my time is off or like someone sometime it is not that bad to be last, because you are the first to or second to be noticed ( or something like that)
Online I go to Scrapbook, http://www.scrapbook.com/, then I will peak Idea galery of KImemories http://www.kimemories.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=ideagallery.mainthen i will go to AmericanCraft Studio Blog http://americancrafts.typepad.com/wich I love give an idea what new or weird Ideas, then if my boss (my husband), does need anything, I take a look at what is new in store in San Diego or special offer, my #1 store, with the best prices ( not online) but real shopping, is Cool Scrapbook Stuff http://www.coolscrapbookstuff.com/index.htm , that have a Micheal's http://www.michaels.com/art/online/homethat have martha stewart line, and JoAnn's Craft Stores, http://www.joann.com/joann/so when I go there, I can stay there allday long, my husband think I a,m crazy,(since I live in Chula Vista, Ca, and the stores are 45min (w/o traffic) in Poway, and there are open 7 day a week, (specially sundays) my day off., so I think I made this post (that nobodies going to read) to long, but it will be helpfull, for any body who asks.

Libelula cards started because my first gift tags where of Libelula (dragonfly) and one of my best love them so I made a whole set out just that. I am an Workaholic Architect that needed time to do thing for me, to relax, and meditate, so in a way this cards help me with stress. I have four sisters and lost of nephews, that I Love doing gift tags, and invitations, party favor tags, and everything that has to do with a party, In Mexico, where I am from, I don’t know why (every country, city or community have their own customs, but where I am from, with a gift that with kids parties, baby showers, Wedding showers (that sometimes are bigger that a wedding) the gift has it cards with the name is visible, so when I studied Architecture, and I got of ideas of doing gift tags, specially when we did scale models, that explains, little flowers, (and patience) . My first gift tags where rectangle, simple black and grays, then color printer came out (long time ago) I evolved and converted flat cards in to square 3d cards, mostly family and friends, then I discovered Scrapbooking, when I was going get married, I could not find the rose paper color I wanted , so I discovered my first flower Paper Puncher , and my bible (Punch Art I) I fell in love, I don’t do so elaborated, because I like something small so I can start and finished fast, ( since construction take a lot longer), I started out with family and friends , but now I have new friends thru my cards, they come back every time for more, or new themes, specially for kids since they grow up so fast they don’t like the choochoo’s anymore, so I learned to do bugs, aliens and marines, ( I have mostly more nephews than nieces, so when I go overboard with the girl tags.) So I hope you enjoy the store,
Muchas Gracias
